My poems, Elephants Walking; Hue, in Darkness; and CO, are included in this anthology of fiction, poetry, and essays, edited by Maxine Hong Kingston


Since the early 1990s, Maxine Hong Kingston has hosted and guided the Bay Area Veterans Writing Group in its seasonal meetings.  Over those years former soldiers, their families,  peace activists and others whose lives have been profoundly affected by warfare have gathered together in day-long writing retreats that weave together writing and meditation practices. This anthology is an ample selection of that work. I have been an annual guest workshop facilitator in the group since 1999.

“Reading their words, we witness worlds torn apart then rebuilt. This epic and timely work is the distilled wisdom of warriors and their loved ones, expressing themselves with breathtaking artistry and truth.”
